[ COST ] [Frequently Asked Questions] [Terms and Conditions]

For the most part, an Institutional Online Subscription authorizes use at a localized site. A "site" is an organizational unit, and may be academic or nonacademic. For organizations located in more than one city, each city office is considered a different site. For organizations within the same city that are administered independently, each office is considered a different site.

For example, each campus in the State University of New York system is considered a different site, and each branch or office of UpJohn Laboratories is considered a different site.

Individuals who are not BSA members may subscribe at the Institutional level, but a more economical option is to join the Botanical Society of America. Online access is included in all types of membership offered by the BSA, with a significant discount for the print subscription.

Ordering Procedure

Subscription to the print journal and the American Journal of Botany Online are separately available

For both print and online subscriptions, you must follow your usual ordering procedures that your institution provides. The paper version of American Journal of Botany is ISSN 0002-9122. The online version of American Journal of Botany is ISSN 1537-2197. Payment should be made to your subscription agent or directly to Botanical Society of America.

Once your serial vendor or BSA has received payment, you will receive a letter with instructions for obtaining access to the World Wide Web edition; the letter will direct you to an online form. You will be asked to provide the following information necessary to activate your subscription to American Journal of Botany Online:

• Institution's IP Address(es)
  [CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT IP ADDRESSES -- READ THIS]
• Contact name, title, phone, fax, and email
• Customer number (included with the letter)

We will send you the address of this web form and instructions for filling it out after we verify payment. Your institution will not have access to the full American Journal of Botany Online until you complete this second step.
